If it is a joke, fair enough, but it's a poor one; not because I'd feel misled, but because it just isn't humorous. I suppose we'll know on Wednesday.

Re: Mangastream host jump scans again!!

I think they're just really into doing a better scanlation of the weekly magazine release of these series that they'll let it pass even if they aren't actually going to be the first to release.

I, though, get the point of "Let a lesser quality scan of OP,Naruto and Bleach fill all those self-centered reader sites before putting up their scans on their own reader..."-thing. That way, the ones that will be archived will be those other scanlations. But I don't know if Viz will just let this slip off their radar.

Re: Mangastream host jump scans again!!

Well their J-Review had become almost pointless once they started to do the complete translations. I think I would have preferred they continue their old preview and pick up new series but I guess they needed to keep their audience.
